The Foundation of Trust
A mentor, a guide, a shining light,
A teacher who makes all the difference,
A beacon of hope in the darkest night,
A bond built on trust and experience.
The foundation of any mentoring relationship,
Is the bond of trust that is forged between,
The mentor and the mentee, an unbreakable grip,
A bond that is strong and evergreen.
With trust comes confidence, a sense of security,
A safe space to share one’s deepest fears,
A place to explore, to grow, to be,
To learn from the mentor’s experiences and tears.
A mentor is a listener, an empathizer,
A pillar of strength when the going gets tough,
A confidant, a friend, a guide, a synthesizer,
A sounding board when the going gets rough.
The mentor keeps the mentee’s secrets,
Maintains confidentiality at all times,
A trustworthy guide who never forgets,
That the mentee’s trust is a treasure that shines.
With trust comes a sense of empowerment,
A belief in oneself, and one’s own worth,
A strength to face challenges and fulfill one’s commitment,
To grow and learn, to explore and unearth.
So, to all the mentors out there,
Who have made a difference in their mentee’s lives,
Who have built strong bonds based on trust and care,
Who have touched hearts and transformed lives.
We honor you for the trust you have built,
For the relationships you have nurtured and grown,
For the impact you have had on lives and the guilt,
For the seeds of greatness you have sown.
Thank you for being the guiding light,
That has helped us navigate through life,
Thank you for being there through the darkest night,
For being the mentor, the teacher, the guide.
